This isnt just an old Explorer. This is the kind of Explorer people wish they never got rid of.

This 1999 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer 4x4 is a genuine late-90s time capsule finished in Toreador Red Clearcoat Metallic with the classic Eddie Bauer trim package that made these SUVs iconic during Fords peak SUV era. The two-tone styling, upright body design, comfortable ride, and traditional truck-based 4WD platform bring back the exact feel that made Explorers dominate American roads for years.

And the mileage is what really changes the story here.

With under 90,000 original miles, this Explorer has dramatically lower mileage than almost anything comparable left on the road today. CARFAX shows the original owner kept this Explorer for over 24 years and averaged just over 3,300 miles per year during ownership. That kind of long-term ownership history is almost impossible to fake and says a lot about how this truck was cared for over time.

CARFAX also shows no accidents or damage reported along with extensive Illinois ownership history and multiple documented maintenance records throughout its life. Service history includes oil changes, spark plugs, ignition coils, thermostat replacement, differential seal work, suspension work, brake service, and regular inspections over the years.

Buss Ford also completed fresh servicing including oil service, brake inspection, tire rotation, and additional pre-delivery work in preparation for sale.

Now, lets be honest this is still a 1999 SUV. Internal inspection notes do identify several older-vehicle concerns that were not fully repaired due to age and cost considerations, including brake noise, aging suspension components, transmission pan seepage, A/C inoperative condition, some 4WD/ABS concerns, door lock issues, and other age-related wear items. But thats also part of buying a true old-school SUV like this. Its not pretending to be brand new its surviving better than most.

And honestly, this is exactly the kind of vehicle where a phone call matters. Older Eddie Bauer Explorers are becoming collectible to the right buyers, especially clean-looking lower-mileage examples like this. Call Buss Ford and well give you the honest rundown on condition, what was repaired, what was left alone, and whether it fits what youre looking for before you make the trip.

As buyers compare replacement costs during Fords Employee Pricing event, older body-on-frame SUVs like this continue attracting people who miss the simplicity, visibility, and character modern SUVs lost years ago.

This Explorer also qualifies for Buss Fords 5-Day Best Price Guarantee and 5-Day Money Back Guarantee.
